Air is swallowed along with food/liquids so as the air accumulates then it may cause discomfort (usually in the epigastrium or left upper quadrant, sometimes right side). If belching relieves the pain then the stretching of the stomach (from air or food) is the likely source.
A full examination with a detailed medical history would be required.
These symptoms are very common when you're not producing enough enzymes to digest your food properly or don't have enough good bacteria in the gut. This happens as we age, when we are not eating the best diet in the world or if we are really stressed out. It's very easy to fix, however, taking a good healthy probiotic daily and enzyme with every meal can help eliminate these symptoms very quickly.
